This course will touch upon: Production Design, Set Design, Art Direction, visual communication,

What you'll learn

Create simple plans. These plans are created by the art department for all the other departments to discuss locations, sets and the technicalities of filming

How to create a 3D model of a film set with Rhino 3D, which will be used for physical construction or VFX purposes

A 3D rendered presentation and walk through of the film set (Rendering with Twin motion)

Creating a working drawing to physically build the set

Requirements

You should have a copy of Rhino or a (version 6-7) and if not down load a 3 month trial for Rhinocopy as well as Sign up for Unreal Engine Twinmotion. Participants should have (not necessary)a general knowledge or interest in Film and Set Design. General knowledge and interest in carpentry, building, and construction. Some knowledge of materials in construction But most will be covered in the course and give students to continue the learning on their own.

Description

'Industry-focused' flexible courseAre you curious about working creatively as a Set Designer in film? The Film industry has a unique pace and skill set. When I entered the film Art Department scene, I had many skills, BUT, I had to re-learn many film-related design skills. This course is the culmination of experiences that took me a few years to acquire, as I went from one exciting project to another. It's set up for you to learn the basics in a fraction of the time it took me to learn it! You will learn how to create great visual plans, a model of a set that is ready for VFX pipeline and  how to render your project for a beautiful presentation.  Lastly, you will learn how to create working drawings for the construction team.  This never done before course covers all the important basis which took me over 5 years to learn.  Before creating this course, I was teaching this in the class rooms where the students were paying thousands of dollars to receive this information. Testimonials"Rhino3D is a colossal creating tool that Houman's course manages to break down into manageable pieces that helped me, a total newbie, feel like I am ready to begin producing quality work."Mark Markowsky, Set DecoratorI have been waiting to find a Rhino tutorial geared to our industry for a long time. It was very comprehensive from A to Z, and now I have the confidence to go full Rhino!Eli Best, Art Director
